Latest MRI Results

We did find out the results of the MRI that was recently done to see if the steroids had reduced any swelling in Chloey's brain and I'm saddened to report that they did not. She is still on the steroids at this time. I did go up there last night to see her, Brittney said that she had been looking around and smiling...I had to see this for myself. While I was talking to her she did focus on me..eye to eye...at least for a second or two and yes...she did seem to be smiling. Of course I was crying by this time. Just to see her beautiful eyes for a few seconds looking at me gave me such hope! The nurses have a CD player by her bed and they are playing some very sweet, soothing music to see if she responds to it. I know I did...that was the sweetest moment in the world for me. I love my granddaughter so very much and I can't bear to see her like she is. But she is still my precious Chloey and I know God is looking out for her. It's very hard to see her hands tied down, the trach and feeding tubes, knowing she has holes in her throat and belly, her uncontrollable movements, just the fact that she's having to go through all this and we still don't even know why and what caused it. One of her nurses last night referred to her as the "mystery baby". Sometimes they act like they are not even sure what to do with her or for her. Brittney said they are talking to a lady today about possibly sending her to Atlanta. The only thing is that she has to be improving enough to qualify to go to this place...I'm still not sure of what it is yet so I won't elaborate until I know more. I wish I had some pictures of her to post, but I don't think Brittney's ready for people to see her just yet, truthfully, it would be very hard. I can tell you that her hair is getting long and she hasn't lost any of her weight as far as I can see. She is always adorable! What a strong child she is! Please continue to keep her in your prayers!
